Cell
The smallest functional and structural unit of all living things
-
Organism
Is any living thing. All organisms are made up of cells
-
Cell membrane
a protective layer that covers a cell's surface and acts as a barrier between the inside of a cell and the cell's environment
-
Cytoplasm
The region of the cell within the membrane that includes the fluid, the cytoskeleton, and all of the organisms except for the nucleus
-
Organelle
Is a small body in a cell's cytoplasm that is specialized to perform a specific function
-
Nucleus
- Where the thinking is usually done.
- in the eukaryotic cell the nucleus has a role either as growth, metabolism, and reproduction
-
Prokaryotic
Is a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
-
Eukaryotic
Is an organism made up of cells that contain their DNA in the nucleus added note most are multicellular but some are unicellular. the eukaryotic cells are not all the same
-
Atom
Both non living and living, is made up of these basic particles
-
Molecule
Is a group of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds
-
Lipid
Is a fat material or a molecule that has similar properties
-
Protein
Is a molecule made up of smaller molecules called amino acids
-
Carbohydrate
Molecules that includes sugar starches and fiber and they use them as a source of energy and energy storage
-
Nucleic acid
The molecule that carries information in the cells
-
Phospholipid
Lipid that contains phosphoris
-
Cytoskeleton
It's a network of protein flatmates that give shape and support to cells
-
Mitochondrion
This is my cellular respiration occurs and cellular respiration uses oxygen to release energy in stored food
-
ribosome
And is this organelle that makes proteins by putting together chains of a aminio acids using instructions encoded in the cells DNA
-
Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a. ER
It assists in the production of processing in transport of protein and in the production of lipids
-
GOLGI complex
A cell organells that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell
-
Cell wall
The wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane
-
vacuole
Is a fluid filled vessel found in the cells most of animals plants and fungi
-
chlorplast
This is in a plant cell and it is where photosynthesis occurs photosynthesis is the process by which cells use sunlight carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen
-
lysosomes
These contain digestive enzymes that break down worn-out or damages organelles, waste materials and foreign invaders inside the cell
-
Homeostasis
This is the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
-
Xylem
This is the tissue that Transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
-
Phloem
transports food made with in plant cells
-
Photosynthesis
This process by which plants algae and some bacteria make their own food
-
Cellular respiration
The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food, plants,animals,and most other organisms use this
-
Cell cycle
During a self lifecycle or cell cycle a cell can undergo cell division in order to make new cells
-
Mitosis
Cell division that form nuclei are identical to each other is called and it ensures that each new cell received a copy of each chromosome
-
Passive transport
The movement of particles across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
-
Diffusion
Is the movement of molecules from high concentrates to low concentrations
-
Osmosis
Is the diffusion if wate through a semi- permeable membrane
-
Active transport
Is the movement of particles against a concentration gradient and requires the cell to use energy
-
Endocytosis
The process by which a cell uses energy to surround a particle and enclose the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle in to the cell
-
Exocytosis
When particles are enclosed in a vesicle and released from the cell
-
Organism
Is a living thing that can carry out life processes by itself
-
Tissue
Is a group of similar cells that perform a common function
-
Organ
Structure made up of a collection of tissues that carries out a specialized function
cells – tissues – organs – organ system
-
Organ system
Is a group of organs that work together to perform body functions
-
Structure
Is the arrangement of parts in the organism or an object
-
Function
The activity of each part in an organism
-
cell theory
The cell theory is fundamental to the study of organisms medicine hereditary evolution and all other aspects of life science
-
Multicellular organisms
Contain more than one cell inside of the organism
-
Unicellular organism
Contains only one cell in the organism
-
Elements
Each different type of atoms are known as these
-
Compound
A substance that is made up of atoms of one or two more elements joined by chemical bonds is called this
-
Enzymes
Help chemical processes happen in cells
-
Nucleotides
nuclei acids are made up of smaller molecules called this
-
Chlorophyll
A green pigment in chloroplasts
-
Binary function
This is where bacteria etc. reproduce
-
Chromosomes
This is when DNA is then compacted down into structures called this
-
Chromatids
A duplicated chromosome consists of two identical structures called this, that are held together together near the center by a structure called a centromere
-
Cytokines
When the cytoplasm divides
-
Alveoli
The lungs were made up of tiny air sacs called this
